Question QUESTION: can you get house arrest for a charge that carries a mandatory sentence?
ANSWER: Tasha,
Your question lacks a lot of specificity but here is a shot. If the statute requires a mandatory sentence, such as committing a crime with a gun mandates a 2 year prison sentence. Then I would find it highly unlikely the court would impose a house arrest. There would have to be some extraordinary circumstance.
If this doesn't answer your question please feel free to resubmit.
Good luck

QUESTION: if you are charged with aggravated identity theft can you get house arrest
Answer Tasha,
In my part of the country we don't have house arrest. It is either probation or jail. I don't know what is available in your part of the country. Your best information would come from an attorney that is handling the case. Could you get probation sure, it is a non violent crime, depending on history and the laws in your area it would be a possibility.
